based on the theory of cooling towers, it can create a simple structure of metal rods and wires treated with hydrophobic coating, can generate a parabolic surface. these surfaces have the characteristic that, for a minimum of material (volume) generates a maximum area. conceptual design is valid for any place on earth, for any terrain, is cheap to build and maintain. does not depend on wind direction or speed, and could be a reference in the water catchment systems for atmospheric condensation. By design, the threads are inclined enough to allow water droplets will fall as they are towards the canal base, and then are brought into the central tank (reservoir), which is closed, which may be extracted by suction or depression (height difference, etc) I have not done any calculations, but considering the amount of moisture in the air is more or less depending on where in the world is the device, the psychrometric chart relative humidities are obtained, where the temperature of the medium is lower than the dew point. this implies to be studied geometry device.For keep the cold air over the condenser surface must reduce the convective exchange and maintain air mass calm and stable. The threads mesh could be covered by the fog net, adapting it to a parabolic surface. the area is very large: the basis of this design are about 10m in diameter and also has a height of 10m. on average, the amount of condensed water is usually between 50 and 80 grams per m2, in our case, with a surface area of ​​245m2, would be about 24 liters of water per day.
